I found out I have a1.6 size ovarian cyst my GYN told me not to worry about it and I can still have a tummy tuck. Is it safe to have a tummy tuck done?

Answer: Ovarian cysts come and go Ovarian cysts are not a rare issue and if your GYN says your cyst is fine and can be left alone, then you are OK to proceed. It is always good to make sure all internal organs are stable before proceeding with a tummy tuck. No one wants a surgical procedure on the abdomen after a tummy tuck if it can possibly be helped. I hope all goes well. Best wishes,Dr. Peterson

Answer: Ovarian cysts and TTs Hello. At this juncture it is possible to have a TT with a small ovarian cyst however your PS will advise you that the future behavior of that cyst is uncertain ( it may or may not get larger) and may affect your overall result. Be careful. Good luck. Dr. B
